Mathematics has played a crucial role in advancing physics for centuries. Albert Einstein praised its “triumph” in describing the fabric of spacetime in his theory of gravity. While math initially served to quantify and survey the physical world, it has evolved into a tool for profound breakthroughs in physics. Surprisingly, in recent times, insights from […]

DAGitty is a web tool for creating, editing, and analyzing causal diagrams to reduce bias in empirical studies in various fields. It is focused on aiding causal models in epidemiology and other disciplines. Developed by Johannes Textor at Radboud University, DAGitty allows users to download the source code, contribute to development, and get help through […]
When working with images and RGB color spaces, it’s common to encounter values outside the acceptable range of 0.0 to 1.0 or 0 to 255. These out-of-range colors need adjustment before encoding or displaying. The issue of dealing with colors beyond the gamut has long been researched, leading to techniques like tone mapping and gamut […]
Red Hat’s controversial decision to change how they distribute the source code for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) sparked outrage across social media, with many questioning the future viability of downstream rebuilds like Rocky Linux and AlmaLinux. Despite backlash, Red Hat’s embrace of SELinux sets them apart from Debian, which relies on AppArmor with limited […]
Emerge is looking for someone to lead their frontend development and design, as their team of developers are not experts in this area. The ideal candidate should thrive in a fast-moving, self-starter environment and have a strong eye for design, with experience in tools like Figma, Next.js, React, Tailwind, and Typescript. Emerge is a suite […]

Integer programming is a technique used in computations for scheduling, combinatorial, and optimization problems that require variables to take integer values. Last year, Victor Reis and his advisor Thomas Rothvoss proved a new upper bound on the time to solve integer programs, building on previous work by Daniel Dadush. The algorithm they analyzed provides an […]
The author expresses frustration over non-compete agreements, which limit employees’ ability to switch jobs and negotiate higher salaries. The recent ban by the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) was quickly halted by a court decision, emphasizing the limitation of federal agencies’ powers. The author criticizes the Supreme Court’s overturning of the Chevron Doctrine, highlighting the […]
days have, this vision emerging. And what’s really exciting to me is the direction that leads towards. It’s not about one game or one creator or Epic, building a Metaverse, it’s about everybody building the Metaverse and sharing their own universes and experiences with a larger whole. So Epic’s role in this is not to […]
In this paper, the CALM Theorem is introduced as a solution to the issue of when coordination is necessary in distributed systems. CALM, which stands for “consistency as logical monotonicity”, reveals that programs with consistent, coordination-free implementations can be expressed in monotonic logic. This has practical implications for developers, offering a new perspective beyond traditional […]
